“I had a splendid time, too.”

“Good.” I reach over to my carry-on, hoping to get my book out and distract myself from the process of taking off when Olivia surprises me again.

“I noticed you are not great with take-offs and landings.”

I laugh nervously. “And here I was, thinking I was hiding it well.”

She winks at me. “You are. I am just really observant. I could get you a mimosa to take the edge off.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

I smile appreciatively at her. “Thank you so much.”

“You’re welcome.”

I settle back down in my seat, waiting for my drink, and my next adventure.

Chapter 4

The Pilot and the Passenger

Jackson

AsI’mgoingthroughmy pre-flight checks, Olivia walks into the cockpit with a mimosa in hand.

“Isn’t it a little early for drinks?”

“Not for me. Amber’s having a rough time.”

At the mention of her name, I perk up. “Everything okay?”

“Takeoff. I noticed she was struggling. I know something else that could help though?” she says suggestively.

I look up at her. “Liv. She is still our client.”

“No. Get your head out of the bloody gutter, bloke. That was not what I meant at all. I already got laid anyway.”

“You did? When?”

“Last night.”

“Liv! Who?”

“Tracy.”

I smile conceitedly at the mischievous grin on her face. “And Tracy would be…”

“The receptionist!”

“Liv!” I admonish her. “C’mon.” But I can’t help but laugh.

“Just because you want to live like a monk doesn’t mean I do. Okay? Now, are you ready for my brilliant plan?”

I shake my head not at all sure what to expect.

“She could come up here.”
